Nervous Dyspepsia is a com.

out Of the conditions of modern
life. 1t is a joint affection of
the digestive organs and of the
nervous system. These two
were formerly treated as sepa-
rate ailments, and it was left
for the clear-sighted Shakers
to prove that the basis of this
terrible and often fatal compli-
cation lies chiefly in the disord-
cred and depraved functions of
digestion and nutrition. They
reasoned thus:-'If we can in.
duce the stomach to do its
work, and stimulate the excre-

The FACTORY MEETING

In accordance with the appointment made
at the meeting in June, g1oily number Of
citizens, from town and county, assembled in
the Court House last Mon'ay 10 hear reports
from the township committees ID solicit sub
scriptions and consider the possibility ofbuild-
inga Cotton Factory here:
Capt. F. VI, Farr was called to the chair,
and Mr.. J. a. FAINT elected Secretary.
The township committees were called upon
to report. Two verbal reports from the coun-
try were made, stating thrt the people were
not in a condition Mt this time 10 take stock i'll
the enterprise, bu: fully appreciated the i'm
por,ancc and benefits Of such an enterprise to
the county at lnrgc.
This made it very cviIen. tina. the amount
called for by the terms under which the busi-
| ness men of this town hal 80 literally sub
scrbcd (SljO,OO0) could not now be obtained
and it was therefore Thought pru lent to post
ppne any further action in tho matter, at least
until the financial condition Of tho county was
improved and the people better able to isvcst
| money in the enterprise.
There can bc no doubt that the people Of the
county arc poor aud in debt, although with pros
| poets brighter than they have been for many
| years, but we must recognize the higi, demands
Of honesty and prudence to frs; lift old debts
| from their shoulders before increasing the bur-
den with new obligations, particularly when 1t
is known by all that the present bright pros
poets depend upon so many contingencies for
continuation and fivorablc iinhl result.
One thing about the effort We can say, with
satisfaction aud pride: the business men of
the town who subscribed for stock did their
full duty, both in very liberal subscriptions
and the active work they did to iusarc the sue
| cess Of the effort We arc confident they
pledged every dollar they felt able to spare,
and they deserve the highest praise for their
| lbcrality and enterprise. They proposed to
carry nearly onc-half of the burden, and il
the people in all the other parts of the county
| had felt able to carry the other half we arc
confident they would willingly have done so,
and we should have had y Factory. But they
were not able, and the cause Of failure to
| build Cotton Factory ut Union my be sum-
med up in II very few words The people arc in
debt aud too poor to build it, u; present.
| There was no want Of interest in the pro.
jcct or appreciation of its benefits to the county
at large, for we have not spoken to but one
man who did not express warm interest in its
success.
Well, it was u pet scheme Of ours, but VIC
must submit to the inevitable, feeling that VIC
have done all We could for it. aud no blame can
attach TO anyone for its failure.
As the girl said, after she had been iro
| w,,kS making ycs What shall .Hy a.
